Thanksgiving Time

So Abigail has been loosing teeth like crazy, in this picture she has 3 gone, but she just lost her 5th tooth tonight!  She now is sporting a giant whole in the front of her mouth.
At storytime Kyla and Mia made turkey hats, they cracked me up.
We spent Thanksgiving at Eric's parent's house in Preston.  After a great lunch we went out and shot guns, cause what else do you do on Thanksgiving?

After the littler kids got done shooting the bigger kids got out the bigger guns and shot at clay pigeons.

Favorite conversation that day... Jacey yells, "I can't hear anything!"  Abby yells back, "Me either!"

Mia

Laura, Eric, Cheryl
The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went and chopped down our Christmas tree (by we I mean Eric and the girls, I stayed in the car and ate Oreos and read :)
Kyla, Abby, and Eric with our Christmas tree.  It's actually my most favorite one we have ever gotten.  Mia pretty much walked the whole time hiking around looking for a tree so when they got back to the car she was done and had to get out of all her snow clothes.
Afterward the kids played in the snow and went sledding on this little hill.

Kyla crashed at the bottom and had the time of her life doing it.
Abby had a school Christmas musical program this year and just the first graders got to sing at Zion's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony a few days before the program.  Abby sang her little heart out, she is really enjoying those kinds of things right now.
So just a small update that I have no pictures for.  Mia is completely potty trained, she even stays dry at night, so I'm really hoping once the new baby is born we have no regression in that area.
Kyla love tumbling every week and her teacher always tells me how much she enjoys have Kyla in her class and how hard she works at improving everything she does.  She always wants to be playing with friends and asked me constantly what we are going to be doing next.  We have been having "school" together almost every day and she really enjoys doing that.  She getting so much better at counting and she almost has all the letter names and sounds down and can write them too!  So proud of her.
Abby enjoys school a lot and has made a lot of friends.  One in particular asks me every day after school when I pick Abby up if they can play that day.  So cute.  Abby really enjoys tumbling and is always practicing hand stands and cartwheels at home.
Eric and I are doing good, just anxiously waiting for this baby to be born, she could really come any day now and we just can't wait!
